Hub Hopping Help

I hub hope but have not voted anyone down after reading their hub even if I did not like it. I cannot help but wonder that if I vote someones hub down, then they or their followers will come vote me down. So, is it not a good idea to hub hop?

The purpose of Hub Hopping is not to vote hubs down, but to flag hubs that may be substandard or for other reasons against the rules. The Hubber cannot see that their hubs or profile page have been flagged.

You are right wilderness, I have not done much hub hopping because of the concern about how it was going to be perceived. To me hub hopping can be fun because I may land on a hub that I would normally have no interest in, but enjoying and learning dispite this.

Just went hopping. I found one 3 year hubber with nearly 50 hubs. Checked 9 of them, 100% with links to his website and another link to somewhere else, most with links to a certain squidoo lens. All fairly short hubs.

I went hubhopping twice today. Did you notice that new hubber who has put up something like 46 hubs in less than 30 hours?

Thing is they all look like good original articles - a bit lacking in photos and other media - but then she probably never had time to put them up.I am assuming she's written them all previously, or perhaps removed them from another site..

A bit odd, yes, but I can think of several reasons for that. Maybe she shut down her own site, or got sick of squidoo or something. Maybe they are from school papers. Possibly a group of friends working together.

Lots of possibilities and none of them matter if it's good content and not duplicated.

One thing that I really do not understand is why do people comment on some of these obviously too short, low quality hubs? I hopped a really bad one this morning, which had two comments saying what awesome writing it was?

I read some of the answers Website Examiner, and one of the responders seems to have a strange idea of the role of the HubPages 'Elite' and also highlighted that many here still do not view HP as a community that we all have a responsibility for maintaining

I have been hub hopping lately and I am disgusted with the incoherent garbage that I am coming across - nothing but poorly translated articles of about 400 words, usually without even any formatting.

I have been hub hopping in my efforts to see hubs that may teach me how to write a better hub myself. But I have a small problem. You either have to thumbs up or thumbs down the article, declare it useful, funny, awesome etc. there are no areas where you can cite problems with the hub. Like...

In light of the Google algo change, it is now obvious and confirmed that hub-hopping is VERY important. I feel that if you publish here, you should hub hop when you can. As it should hopefully increase our revenue and hopefully take this hubpages back to the top, where it belongs.The problem is...

I like hopping hubs, learning new things and meeting other hubbers. However, I have absolutely no interest in reading hubs on religion, politics, poems, fictional stories or some far away place I will never visit so I skip them. Usually this is no big deal but I just hopped about 30 hubs and no...
